The India Meteorological Department (IMD) on Saturday predicted return of the cold wave in the State in next two days after many places experienced rains and thundershowers since Friday.
The minimum temperature is likely to fall gradually by 4 degree Celsius to 6 degree Celsius in several districts and the maximum temperature likely to be below normal till Monday, the India Meteorological Department (IMD) forecast. It also warned of dense fog on Sunday.
The Government has asked the district Collectors to take measures to save people from the cold wave and paddy from the rains. Paddy cultivation has been severely hit in many coastal districts. “The Collectors have been asked to submit reports on the crop loss due to unseasonal rains,” said Revenue and Disaster Management Minister Sudam Marndi.
